This might sound silly but what are ACT and OBS?

I also fixed an issue that I'm sure other people are going to come across:
If you're using ACT and the overlay plugin, your fonts are defined as Meiryo in the html files for parse output. Installing Windows 10 removed all of the language packs I had installed. Meiryo is the default JP font in Windows. Not having the JP language pack installed means you will not have the Meiryo font installed and your overlay plugins will display in Times New Roman. Installing the language packs again and restarting will fix your font problems.
I noticed the font was different too, thanks for the heads up.
Thanks Izzy that "New" Font was pissing me off.
i did try wiping clean with DDU but a fresh driver install didn't do anything to help. so weird how it's pretty consistent: first boot i for sure get the lag, second boot seems fine.
that said i was playing around with it today, came across something curious/related. i clicked the option for "limit frame rate when client is inactive" and when i alt tabbed (brought a window up so i could still see game in background) the FPS was the same as when i tabbed back in.
so before when i say had a message window up, the FPS normalized around 100+ then dropped to 20ish bringing it to active. with that option checked the FPS was pretty much exact same all the way around. seems like the game has the option mixed up hard, wtf. thinking i might just have to try a complete reinstall of the game if i can't figure this all out.
Just woke up to an "Upgrade to Windows 10 for free" message on my comp from Microsoft. Anyone that has upgraded already, is it worth it? Or should I just stick with Windows 8.1?
Up to you, privacy stuff aside Windows 10 has been the best windows. No issues at all. You would more than likely have to get some windows 10 specific drivers for your GPU and maybe motherboard depending on age, but so far Window 10 feels like a superior version of 7 in many ways. I upgraded off of 8.1 which I had nothing but problems with.
So in general should I upgarde to Win 10? :/ Win 8.1 right now. Hoping to upgrade once all bugs and issues are fixed
If you're curious you could always make a system image and then update and if you're not happy refresh back to your system image and it's like nothing happened. The overall experience from 8.1 to 10 you probably wont notice a huge direct change with boot times and overall system performance, the biggest performance jump is for people going from 7 to 10.
Only issue I've had with FFXIV in Windows 10 has been during the version check crashing due to not being authorized. Setting the launcher to run as administrator fixed this.
I'm getting random framedrops sometimes, changing to full screen/smaller windowed resolution/lower graphics settings didn't seem to help. All of my drivers are up to date, so it's pretty annoying but manageable.
I'm having a similar (strange) problem.
I have Windows 10 and dual screens (both 1440p, had this problem with 1080 screens or combined 1080+1440 too).
When I have FFXIV and OBS open, when I "click" FFXIV (aka, I select the main screen where FFXIV is running) the OBS stutters a lot, dropping frames to 20FPS aprox, while game runs perfect at 60FPS+.
When I click somewhere else but FFXIV, for example OBS, or Teamspeak, Chrome etc, OBS runs smooth, except that game drops from 60FPS to 50~ish and sometimes gives a huge FPS drop. I'm glad that I can play with gamepad, because if I were a keyboard user I wouldn't be able to do this.
So I have to choose if I want to play at full 60FPS or cap my FPS in order to record/stream with OBS.
Been looking for a fix from 3+ months now and haven't found any answer. It's hard to explain too so it's quite frustrating.
A friend of mine has the exact same problem and we can't find how to fix it.
Did this happen to you? I'd appreciate any help, thanks!
Just did the upgrade myself and have only one issue so far. It seems like any time I'm interacting or casting the bar tends to stutter a bit for the lack of a better word. The numbers on the bar will jump back and forth a bit before completing. Never experienced the issue until upgrading to 10.
